We're dividing 140572 by 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 140572 can be divided by 50.

Moving on to step 1:
50 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 50

Step 2:
50 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 50

Step 3:
50 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 100 from 140, we get 40.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 405 / 50

Advancing to step 4:
50 can be fit into 405 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 400 from 405 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 50

On to step 5:
50 goes into 57 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281.0
Subtract 50 from 57 to get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 50

Step 6:
The number 50 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2811.0
Subtract 50 from 72 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2811.4
If we take 200 away from 220, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 50, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2811.44
Subtract 200 from 200 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2811.44 with a remaining 0.0.
